============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

The points have been made and I thank the Minister of State for his reply. There is a singular focus on the clinical side and referring back to the Minister for Health. The Minister for Social Protection, Deputy Humphreys, also needs to be involved in this. With regard to the clinical aspects of the capacity of services and clinical awareness in the services, the point has been made to me, and the Minister of State picked up on this, that the focus is on pulmonary and cardiac and less so on neurology. This is also needs to be addressed. This will be an ongoing issue and it needs a priority focus.
